  • McLaren’s ‘nightmare’ brings Max into the mix – 2025 Las Vegas GP Review with Lawrence Barretto

    McLaren’s ‘nightmare’ brings Max into the mix – 2025 Las Vegas GP Review with Lawrence Barretto
    Nov 23 2025
    The 2025 World Championship took another huge twist in Las Vegas, with Max Verstappen winning and both McLaren drivers being disqualified from the race after their cars were found not to comply with technical regulations.

    Why exactly were McLaren disqualified? And what does this mean for the title race? F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto joins Tom Clarkson in the paddock to explain the dramatic events that unfolded in the hours after the chequered flag.

    Tom and Lawrence also discuss the Battle for P2 in the Constructors’ Championship, as Mercedes gained from McLaren’s misfortune to score a double podium, while Ferrari’s struggles continued.

    And Doriane Pin tells us how it feels to have been crowned F1 Academy champion after beating Maya Weug to the title in Vegas.

  • 'Oscar has nothing to lose' - 2025 Las Vegas GP Preview with James Hinchcliffe

    'Oscar has nothing to lose' - 2025 Las Vegas GP Preview with James Hinchcliffe
    Nov 17 2025
    F1TV expert and six-time IndyCar race winner, James Hinchcliffe, joins Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.

    Lando Norris leads Oscar Piastri at the top of the World Championship by 24 points. With three races and one F1 Sprint to go, there are still 83 up for grabs.

    So how will Lando and Oscar approach this triple header? Hinch shares his thoughts on the mindset of both McLaren drivers and tells Tom why it’s still all to play for despite Lando’s advantage.

    Max Verstappen is now 49 points adrift of Lando but, while his title hopes look slim, will he and Red Bull still be fighting for wins and have a say in the championship outcome?

    Plus, Ferrari have been on the Vegas podium two years in a row. Could this be the track where they score a first Grand Prix win of the season? After their double DNF in Brazil, Ferrari chairman John Elkann said Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc need to ‘talk less and focus on driving’. How does Hinch think those comments will impact the team?

  • Lando ‘peaking at perfect time’, Max’s ‘fantasy’ fightback + optimism for Oscar? – 2025 Sao Paulo GP Review

    Lando ‘peaking at perfect time’, Max’s ‘fantasy’ fightback + optimism for Oscar? – 2025 Sao Paulo GP Review
    Nov 10 2025
    F1TV lead commentator Alex Jacques and Brazilian commentator Felipe Giaffone join Tom Clarkson in the Interlagos paddock to analyse an eventful race in Brazil.

    Converting two pole positions into Grand Prix and Sprint wins, Lando Norris produced a perfect weekend to move 24 points clear of teammate Oscar Piastri at the top of the standings.

    With just three rounds left of the 2025 season, does Lando have one hand on the title now? What did Alex and Felipe make of Oscar’s 10-second penalty? And how will the Australian be feeling after losing more ground in the championship?

    After his sensational win from P17 in Sao Paulo last year, Max Verstappen fought back in emphatic style again – this time from the pitlane to P3. How did he and Red Bull execute that incredible comeback after such a difficult qualifying session? Despite that remarkable recovery, Max lost more ground on Lando, but did close the gap to Oscar, so where do his hopes of becoming a five-time World Champion this season lie now?

    Plus, the guys also reflect on impressive performances from Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman and Liam Lawson, a challenging first home race for Gabriel Bortoleto, and a very disappointing double DNF for Ferrari.
